I got the flu shot on Tuesday. ... but why do some women disagree on getting the shot while…

Well I haven't gotten on in years but my dr strongly encouraged me to get it while pregnant. The following day my arm hurt like shit and I was having the worst body aches. Thankfully it only lasted 24 hours but it was a doozy.

There was an article someone posted here yesterday explaining why. It was very eye opening...Some of the reasons are that the shot contains mercury, which can cause autism and other developmental disorders. Also, ladt year, doctors were, for some reason unbeknownst to me, reccomending that pregnant women get a double dose of the vaccine, and there was a huge spike in miscarriages and stillborn babies that year. They tie it to the flu shot. Its very scary stuff. I will try to find the link to the article..Im sorry if Ive frightened you!

@kaygrig, same here my arm is starting to hurt and kinda sore hopes it goes away

@sarahemccormick, oh my! 😕

that's scary @sarahemccormick

It will go away. It took a good 24 hours and it's like it didn't happen. Drink plenty of fluid as if we already don't drink enough lol

I have always had a bad reaction to the flu shot. last time I got it I landed in the hospital. last thing I'll do is get it while pregnant.

@kaygrig, was there complications in ur pregnancy after the shot?? and was ur baby born healthy

I got the flu shot while pregnant with my 4yr old he had Autism I don't think it's the only reason but I know it didn't help him. He's doing really well and it's partially bc I stopped all vaccines on him. Mercury is in high fructose corn syrup as well ! It's just not wort it !!

I'm only 18 weeks.

Don't be worried. A lot of information has been given to you. Don't beat yourself up for getting the shot or be worried something will be wrong with your baby. You did what you and your dr thought was best. Only if you are worried ☺️

@just9monthsx3, doesn't your child have to have certain vaccines for school though?

He had all of them spread out with the exception of one and In Florida you can get a religious exemption to exclude him from them. Don't get me wrong I do believe that for some people the benefits outweigh the risks but not for my four-year-old. Until I know more about what's going on with him I'm not giving him any more. My oldest is fully vaccinated and perfectly healthy.

@ieehiaf,

@ieshiaf,

they like shooting stuff inside of us to see how are body react to it like we a damn guinea pig my doctor ask me I said hell no

I got the shot during pregnancy and although my son was born early for other reasons he was still healthy and able to leave the hospital when I did. I did not have a complicated delivery or pregnancy
